TechScript 2.0 Language Guide

This guide introduces the core concepts and canonical syntax of TechScript 2.0.

---

📐 Philosophy

TechScript is designed around one core rule: Write like a human, execute at native speeds. Blocks are defined using a colon : followed by 4-space indentation.

---

📦 Variables & Constants

Variables are dynamically typed and initialized on first assignment using is:

name is "Alice"
age is 30
is_active is true

Variables are updated using becomes:

age becomes age + 1

Constants cannot be changed after declaration:

constant PI is 3.14159

---

🔀 Conditionals

Use standard if, else if, and else blocks:

score is 85

if score >= 90:
    say "A"
else if score >= 80:
    say "B"
else:
    say "F"

---

🔁 Loops

TechScript features clean loop structures:

Counted Loop (repeat N times:)

Executes a block exactly N times:

repeat 5 times:
    say "Hello!"

Condition Loop (while)

Executes while a condition remains true:

count is 0
while count < 5:
    count becomes count + 1
    say "Count: {count}"

Iterator Loop (for)

Iterates over lists, maps, or collections:

names is ["Alice", "Bob"]
for name in names:
    say "Name: {name}"

---

🏗️ Functions

Functions are declared using to name(params): and return values using return:

to calculate_square(x):
    return x * x

result is calculate_square(4)
say "Result: {result}" # 16

---

🧱 Objects & Models

Classes are declared using the class keyword with colon and indentation:

class Dog:
    name is ""

    to init(name):
        self.name becomes name

    to speak():
        say "{self.name} says Woof!"

my_dog is new Dog("Fido")
my_dog.speak()
